An Arrogance Many Dislike Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People who are self assured and confident,
Display an arrogance many dislike.
Since many who rely upon their insecurities,
And incompetence...
Love seeing this reflected in others,
To give them a reason to feel better about themselves.

'And this proves what?
That we can claim a greatness,
But not witness anyone attempting to achieve it? '

If everyone attempted to achieve greatness,
What then would be the purpose...
Of all the hype and propaganda? '
